Christie Brinkley’s Ex Fires Back

Christie Brinkley’s Ex Fires Back, Christie Brinkley’s ex-husband, Peter Cook, was quick to fire back after the supermodel broke down during a visit to NBC’s “Today” show on Tuesday. Cook attacked Brinkley in a statement, saying the 58-year-old outright lied on national television.

“Christie was entirely dishonest about the circumstances surrounding the current court action which was precipitated by her and … is doing further damage to our children,” he said, reports Fox News. “I am also shocked by the blatant lies she told regarding our divorce proceedings of four years ago, including denying the indisputable fact that she fought for an open courtroom despite the warnings it would harm our children.”

This comes shortly after Brinkley got teary-eyed while talking to Matt Lauer, telling the “Today” show host that Cook pays $600 per month for each of their children.

“It’s a very minimal amount of money,” she said. “And it wasn’t (about) the money. I have hesitated to do anything with the court because he actually likes the publicity and he likes going to court.”

Brinkley insisted she just wants the fighting to end. “I just want peace,” she said, holding back tears. “And every time I have any joy or any kind of success in anything, he has to try to destroy it.”
